Looking for some GeoTargeting Software
 

Hi All,
I'm looking for some GeoTargeting software, anyone got suggestons??


Thanks in advance!

I use traffic assistant (it's a php script) and it kicks booty.

Keeps all those annoying eastern eurpopeans, russians, and yukky middles easterners from clogging up my chats.

Maxmind

geoiplookup. Have a great apache module that works great with very basic scripts.

Does anybody have any experience using MaxMind? Is it accurate?

www.ip-sorter.com :-)

Uses the maxmind db data, and includes their premium database in the price.

Pattyecake,

Drop me an email ( [email protected] ) or an ICQ (107713480) hon have a couple of solutions for you depending on what use you want to have from the geo:ip targeting.

May I ask then what is the difference between ip-sorter and maxmind?

Thanks,
B

Maxmind is the module i beleive to run GEO:IP on a server that needs to be installed thus, almost all GEO:IP solutions will use
MaxMind software of one of the lesser quality equivalents.

Maxmind supply the databae of IP-country translations, and some code required to access the database (so you have to write your own software).

IP-Sorter takes the maxmind data, and puts it into a set of scripts that are more usable by the average webmaster.

IP-Sorter costs $300, $150 of which is the price for the premium edition (updates each month) data from maxmind. The other $150 is the price for our software. (so if you've got the data already from maxmind, you could buy our software for $150).

Even for the perl/php programmers, we supply a shell tool (http://ip-sorter.com/tour/extend.htm) that they can use to extend their own scripts.

The other big benefit of IP-Sorter, is that all our software is coded in C, so its pretty shit hot when it comes to performance figures (tested with 5,000,000/day simulation, took a 0.00 `top` load average to 0.50, and was using 50% of the resources).

I think its worth the extra $150 to get a high performance, stable, webmaster interface to the db :)

Thank you!

Thanks Guys!
You're the best :)

:thumbsup

The Maxmind database is "mostly" accurate, however for the price nothing beats it.

I can highly recommend Richard's IP-Sorter. Uses very little server resources, and it was easy to intergrate into our existing software. We're happy customers!

Speaking of this...

I am currently building my own HTTP Module that handles redirection based on IP.

Currently it tracks over 170 Countries.

If you are from outside the US, please take a moment to test it out.

Basically all it will tell you is the Country you are from.


Thanks...
